This is a bespoke mid-water drilling rig, designed to operate in the harshest of environments and future proofed with the most advanced technology ever seen offshore. The rigs’ unique design will ensure safer operations, will deliver higher drilling efficiency and will generate the lowest environmental footprint as compared to peers.
